6 FAQs about [Penalties for littering lithium batteries]
What are the risks of waste Li-ion batteries?
Given the risk of physical damage to waste Li-ion batteries when being loaded/unloaded, sorted or processed using mechanical equipment (e.g., shredding), waste management activities pose a high risk of battery failure, potentially resulting in a thermal event (e.g., spark, fire, explosion, etc.).
What is a lithium-ion battery Bill?
A Bill to make provision regarding the safe storage, use and disposal of lithium-ion batteries; and for connected purposes.
Are Li-ion batteries dangerous?
The rising numbers of injuries and fatalities linked to Li-ion batteries raises new questions and considerations for employers, responsible people, and health and safety practitioners about the risks, challenges, and implications posed by battery technologies (such as e-bikes and e-scooters).
What happens if a Li-ion battery ages?
Li-ion cells or battery modules can be compromised as a result of battery aging i.e., when vulnerable materials inside the battery deteriorate. This includes dendrite formation, which refers to the growth of conductive crystals inside a Li-ion battery. Crystals formed inside a battery may result in a short circuit.
Are portable Li-ion batteries safe?
Given the relatively low quantity of waste batteries handled by distributors and the use of approved waste receptacles (e.g., WEEE Ireland battery boxes), the likelihood of a significant safety event due to the storage of small quantities of portable Li-ion batteries is considered low27.
What happens if a lithium ion battery explodes?
In the presence of moisture, the lithium contained in Li-ion batteries reacts with water to form lithium hydroxide (LiOH), a caustic liquid susceptible to leakage in the event of a Li-ion battery explosion. The reaction of lithium and water also generates hydrogen gas, presenting a risk of fire and explosion.
